Fine for what it is

The campground itself is nice. It’s on a cove and sheltered from the wind. It is right in the middle of a village so you are surrounded by houses. The current caretaker is quite rude and not accommodating unfortunately. Pets must be leashes.

Nice small campground - but next to houses

This is a nice campground on Canyon Ferry Lake. Camp ground has tables and fire rings at all the sites except for one ADA site for some reason. Two vault toilets. Large boat ramp. Many large trees provide shade for most sites. Almost gave this 3 starts as the main drawback is all the houses around the campground. This is a lightly used campground, I have only ever seen a few people camping here the several times I have visited the campground.
